Chapter 182: New Product: Bangbang Robot

From smart learning machines, to virtual factories, to work assistants...... These are all product cobwebs derived from the "intelligent learning program".

These products, each one of which is incredibly powerful, are beginning to change the world.

In other words, when machines can learn on their own, many fields will start to be free of humans.

Of course, this does not mean that human beings do not need to do anything, and all human beings can be laid off.

Machines are not omnipotent, and they do not have the imagination and innovation ability of humans.

For example, art, this type of machine can't be replaced by any way, even the top artificial intelligence, except for secondary creation on existing materials, it can't conceive pictures that have never been before, but humans can.

For example, if AI has this design ability, it can evolve autonomously, but in general, such an architecture can only be designed by the top human genius...... This also requires strong imagination and logical deduction.

It is difficult for artificial intelligence to detach itself, one reason is that it is limited by the underlying hardware; The second is that "people can't fly with their heads", just like a 32-bit system is not compatible with 64-bit, and a more powerful architecture needs to be designed and implemented by humans.

So this is why Chen Jinhui said that liberal arts will be more popular in the future, except for a few fields, engineering work has become extremely simple, the requirements for creativity and imagination have increased, and the era of liberal arts and art students is coming soon.

After all, excellent engineering men can be mass-produced, and the value of "artists" who cannot be mass-produced will naturally increase.

……

Mid-December.

After nearly a year of research and development, Xinghai Technology has basically completed the finalization of another blockbuster product.

It is also a product that uses a number of cutting-edge technologies, is a must-have for every family, and is about to change the world.

What is it?

Robot.

It's not the same as the one that focuses on the floor...... It focuses on above the floor.

What's the difference, Chen Jin took a prototype home and tested it himself.

……

Paradise of Happiness.

When she got home after work, He Li found that there was a large cardboard box in the living room, and a bunch of foam and plastic film were scattered next to it, and the living room was very messy.

She shook her head: "The clean living room was made like this, and I didn't know how to throw it at the door." ”

He Li put the work bag on the cabinet next to her, leaned down and prepared to clean up.

At a glance, Chen Jin walked out of the second bedroom, and then a white machine device followed him out and entered the second bedroom opposite.

He Li's eyes lit up, she walked over in a few steps, and looked at Chen Jindao in the room: "Son, what is this thing?" ”

looked at the robot again, his eyes flashed with curiosity, and he secretly said in his heart: The round head, the simple appearance, is so cute.

I really want to go over and touch it.

"This is my company's new product, Bangbang Robot, you can call it Xiaobang, I'm taking it to scan the home environment."

Awesome robots?

Little sticks?

He Li blinked, and the curiosity in her heart was even heavier.

Five minutes later.

The entire indoor environment is scanned.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, her mother He Li, who couldn't hold it anymore, asked a series of questions excitedly.

"Son, son, your company has made a new product?"

"What can you do, this robot called Bangbang, is it more powerful than Wow Wow?"

"Haha, my son is so good, he has made another awesome product, hahaha."

He Li's eyebrows fluttered, her face was full of pride and pride, her son was getting more and more of her mother's long face, this awesome robot, so that she had something to brag about this year and enjoy the envy of others.

Hahahaha.

She laughed heartily.

Chen Jin's head sweated.

I had to explain: "Mom, don't be too happy, I don't really have a bottom in my heart, this robot has no less functions than Wow Wow 2.0, but the market performance may not be as good as Wow Wow 2.0." ”

He Li was puzzled: "Since its function is not less than that of Wow, how can the market performance be worse?" As long as the price is right, every household should buy at least one. ”

Chen Jin still shook his head: "Even if it can sell 10 million units, I think this product is very successful." ”

"It can't be! Son, tell me what this robot can do, and my mother will give you an assessment of how many units it can sell. ”

He Li hugged her hands, showing a professional expression, although she is studying accounting, it does not mean that she has no vision, she does not know the specific functions of the awesome robot, but just this cute and cute appearance, she feels that she can sell more than 10 million.

"Okay, I'll show you how."

Chen Jin nodded, and in front of his mother, he made a demonstration of the functions one by one.

"Bangbang, go pour two glasses of water."

"Good master."

After a while, holding the tray of sticks in his hand, he poured two glasses of water from the water dispenser.

"It's good to be able to serve tea and water." He Li took the cup, took a sip of water, and nodded.

"Bangbang, go wipe down the table."

"Good master."

Grab a rag and wipe the table.

He Li's eyes lit up: "I can also help wipe the table, this is even better." ”

In addition, any item weighing no more than 20 kilograms, Bangbang can help to get it to the person who needs it, of course, the maximum size should not exceed one meter, not close to the ground, and not be placed too high...... Bangbang is only 1.6 meters tall, and his fingers are far less flexible than humans, so he still can't do a lot of work.

For example, drying clothes...... Bangbang can't do it.

I can't cook...... Bangbang can't control the change in the heat of the pot.

Can help housewives wash dishes...... However, waterproof gloves must be worn.

It can't do it even when washing and chopping vegetables...... One is that the stick can't control the tool, and the other robot can't control the tool, which can cause worry and fear.

So to sum up, the things that the Bangbang robot can do are: serving tea and water, wiping the table and wiping the furniture, helping to take items weighing no more than 20 kg, helping to wash dishes, and helping to turn on and off the lights, turning on the TV (the TV remote control function is integrated in the Bangbang body), turning on the washing machine and other relatively easy things.

In addition to washing and chopping vegetables for cooking.

80% of household chores can be done by Bangbang robots.

Syllable~!

He Li slapped her thigh: "50 million units, son, my mother guarantees you that at least 50 million units can be sold!" Guaranteed not to be less than that! ”

At this time, my father Chen just came back from work.

After listening to the introduction of the functions of the Bangbang robot, he pondered for a while and pointed out a fatal flaw of this product:

"To be honest, this robot doesn't have to be bad at all, it can be said that it is more powerful, but the market doesn't need it, because it can't replace humans, or rather, humans don't need it to replace, what it can do is not too troublesome, humans will basically do it, will do it, unless this robot can cook, it is difficult to sell more than 10 million."

"Chen! Just! He Li's face was ugly, and she reached out and pinched it.

"Dad, you're absolutely right."

Chen Jin nodded in agreement: "Japan, which is adjacent to me, has long produced similar home robots, which can also serve tea and water, and do a lot of work, but it can't be promoted, because some simple family chores don't need to buy an expensive robot...... We humans have to do something, and home robots with a serious overlap of functions in this area seem completely redundant and even less practical than Wow Wow robots. ”

"So under normal circumstances, the market sales of awesome robots will not be very optimistic."

"However, in order to reverse this situation, we have added three killer functions to the Bangbang robot, and the addition of these three functions should play a significant role in promoting sales."

Oh?

Chen Gang suddenly became interested and asked, "Tell me, what are the three functions?" ”

Mother He Li stopped the pursuit, and her face was full of curiosity.
